We go again.

Half-time: Sweden 1-1 Ukraine
45'
It started slowly, but this has been a much better half than I expected. In a way, an open game suits both teams, as Sweden have good forwards and Ukraine want to attack space.

GOAL! Sweden 1-1 Ukraine (Forsberg) He's done it again! Isak moves the ball across the face of the box to Forsberg, who takes a good touch to move it out his feet on the half-turn. One look, and he flings his entire corporeality into a left-footed drive, which kicks off Zabarnyi and flies over Buschan, who's already dived low. That was semi-coming, and Forsberg now has four for the competition!

Sweden are playing a bit quicker now, their full-backs higher, and....
42'
Kulusevski has something, and he weaves into the box and ducks outside Matviyenko then falls. He wants a penalty, but seemed to lose his balance - I don't think he was fouled.
39'
Sweden are dominating possession, but Ukraine, with their goal and desire to counter, are pretty happy to allow that, funnelling them inside whenever they can.
36'
Forsberg plays into Kulusevski, who return is too strong but picked up by Olsson. He sends it wide to Lustig, whose cross is poor.
36'
Sweden work it out wide to Larsson, and he tries a cross but past the back post where no one is.
34'
That goal shook Sweden a bit, but you'll be relieved to hear they're back into their slow, predictable passing now.

Sweden aren't defending as well as they usually do, and when they only half-clear a cross, Yarmolenko has a chance. But he's forced to shoot with his right foot, so can only poke over the bar.
31'
This is a much better Ukraine than the one which folded so meekly to Austria.

Sweden win a free-kick down the right, 30 yards out and too far right to be worth a shot. Except Larsson disagrees curling around the near side of the wall towards the near post, with Buschan expecting a cross. But the keeper is wise to the ruse, shovelling behind for a corner.

GOAL! Sweden 0-1 Ukraine (Zinchenko) JUST LIKE THAT! Ukraine move it beautifully from left to right, Stepanenko finding a lovely switch, and when the ball goes on to Yarmolenko, he swerves a luscious outside-of-the-boot cross to Zinchenko, who crashes a low finish that Olsen can only help into the net!
26'
Augustinsson's getting higher and it's helping Forsberg, who sticks a decent cross into the corridor of uncertainty ... but Kuluseksvi cant quite get on the end of it.
24'
It's a while since Ukraine did anything offensively. They may live to rue Yaremchuk's miss.
22'
In commentary, Martin Keown says that Gareth Southgate got his tactics spot-on but I'm not having that. They worked in the end, but England created little for an hour and conceded big chances against a team they're good enough to dominate.
21'
It's livened up a bit. If Sweden keep pushing, the match is there for them.

Sweden are into this now, Kulusevski turning up on the opposite side, at inside left, to glance Isak's pass back into his path. He opens hi body nicely, strokes his finish nicely ... but it skids past the far post.

And here we go, a quick exchange between Lustig and Larsson allowing the former to find Kuluseksvi out right. He quickly comes back inside onto his left foot and spins a cross towards the far post, where Forsberg can't quite time his jump, getting up too early and unable to direct a header goalwards.
